Okinawan children putting rice stalks into a machine to separate the grain from the stalk. Description provided by photographer Roy Simonson reads: "The stripping of rice kernels from the straw with a "whirling comb" in a small treadle powered machine not far from the village of Toyama, on the south coast of Okinawa. Sheaves of grain are held against the rotating cylinder, made of wood and staples, and the cloth keeps the kernels from flying away."
